Hi,
I've installed VoukoderPro 1.2.5, but I can't find libx265 video encoder in the FFmpeg list.
Am I missing something, or does VoukoderPro not come with x265 support out of the box?

x264/5 can't be included due to license issues.
That's unfortunate
Is it possible for me to build my own version of ffmpeg-encoders.dll which could include x264/5? I wouldn't be sharing this publicly, so there would be no licence issues, right?
That's correct! And that's the legal option you've got.
You'd need a custom set of these files:
Take a look at https://github.com/VoukoderPro/FFmpeg to get an idea on how to do it.
Had a look, but I think I'm in way over my head with this, thought it would be simpler to build a custom .dll / .exe with support for x264/5, and just replace files with my current instalation.
I guess I'll have to rely on Constant QP with hevc_nvenc. Thanks.

- avcodec-voukoderpro-61.dll
- avdevice-voukoderpro-61.dll
- avfilter-voukoderpro-10.dll
- avformat-voukoderpro-61.dll
- avutil-voukoderpro-59.dll
- swresample-voukoderpro-5.dll
- swscale-voukoderpro-8.dll

Hi Vouk, can you build some VouoderPro dll files with X264/265 and place them on another Github project? So that users can download them themselves. Does this mitigate license risk?
I'll think about it.
